オーストラリア向けに右ハンドル車を提供する中国の主要EVブランドをご覧ください。, イギリス, 香港と東南アジア, 加えて、RHD の輸出とコンプライアンスの重要な考慮事項.

China’s electric vehicle industry is moving beyond its traditional left-hand-drive home market. An increasing number of Chinese manufacturers are developing 右手ドライブ (rhd) electric vehicles and new-energy vehicles for markets including Hong Kong, タイ, マレーシア, インドネシア, オーストラリア, New Zealand and the UK.

For international dealers and buyers, this creates a growing opportunity to source RHD electric cars from China with competitive pricing, advanced EV technology and increasingly localized specifications.

しかし, not every Chinese EV is available in right-hand drive. More importantly, an RHD vehicle is not automatically approved for every RHD country. Buyers still need to verify local homologation, 安全, 排出 量, registration and import requirements.

Why Chinese EV Brands Are Expanding into RHD Markets

歴史的に, RHD markets such as the UK, オーストラリア, 日本, Thailand and Malaysia have been dominated by Japanese and European manufacturers.

The situation is changing rapidly as Chinese EV brands expand internationally.

ザ 2026 Bangkok International Motor Show provides a strong example. Chinese brands accounted for around 68% of the show’s four-wheel vehicle pre-orders, with BYD, OMODA & JAECOO, MG and DEEPAL/NEVO among the strongest performers. BYD alone recorded 17,354 reservations.

Hong Kong is another important RHD market. 5月に 2026, Chinese brands occupied eight of the top ten positions in the new-car brand ranking, BYDを含む, デンザ, ジークル, XPeng, 頭いい, アヴァトル, MG and Aion. EVs accounted for approximately 78% of new private-car registrations during the month.

These markets are increasingly important launch points for Chinese manufacturers developing and exporting RHD vehicles.

Which Chinese EV Brands Offer 右ハンドル車?

Not every Chinese EV manufacturer currently offers RHD vehicles. Some already sell RHD models, while others are preparing RHD versions for selected international markets.

比亜迪: One of the Most Established RHD EV Brands

比亜迪 is one of China’s most established EV exporters and has developed RHD versions of several models for markets including the UK, タイ, Hong Kong and other right-hand-drive regions.

ザ 比亜迪シール is a good example. The UK-market version uses an 82.5 kWhブレードバッテリー, while the available powertrains and range depend on the specific trim. BYD’s MY26 UK specification lists a WLTP combined range of 354 miles for the Design version and 323 miles for the Excellence AWD version.

Typical RHD-market features can include:

• Right-hand-drive configuration
• CCS2 charging
• Local-language infotainment
• Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• Market-specific safety equipment
• Local warranty and service support

重要: Chinese domestic BYD models can have different specifications from UK, Thai or other export versions. Buyers should always verify the exact market specification.

ジークル: Premium EVs Expanding into RHD Markets

ジークル, Geely’s premium electric vehicle brand, has established a significant presence in Hong Kong and is expanding its international product strategy.

The Hong Kong market already offers RHD Zeekr models such as the Zeekr 7X and Zeekr 009, demonstrating the brand’s ability to adapt its premium EV platform to RHD markets. 5月 2026 registration data placed the Zeekr 7X and Zeekr 009 among Hong Kong’s leading EV models.

For buyers considering newer Zeekr models, しかし, availability should be checked individually.

A China-market Zeekr model is not automatically available in RHD. The exact RHD configuration, destination market and certification status should be confirmed before ordering.

NIO and Firefly: RHD Compact EVs

NIO’s Firefly sub-brand has also entered the RHD market.

ザ Firefly EV was displayed in RHD configuration at the 2026 Hong Kong Auto Expo. It is significant because Firefly is the first RHD vehicle introduced by NIO Inc.

This demonstrates how Chinese manufacturers are using smaller EV platforms to target international urban markets where compact dimensions and efficient electric powertrains are important.

リープモーター: RHD Lafa5 / B05

Leapmotor is another Chinese EV manufacturer rapidly expanding its RHD portfolio.

で、 2026 Hong Kong International Automotive & Supply Chain Expo, Leapmotor displayed the RHD Lafa5, which is known as the B05 in global markets. The model forms part of Leapmotor’s broader international product strategy.

Leapmotor already has models such as the C10, T03 and B10 operating in Hong Kong, while the Lafa5/B05 expands its RHD product range.

Other Chinese Brands Developing RHD Vehicles

The RHD market is no longer limited to a handful of Chinese manufacturers.

Other brands with RHD products or international RHD strategies include:

The key distinction is between models already available in RHD and brands that have only announced future RHD plans.

RHD Does Not Automatically Mean Global Compliance

これは海外のバイヤーにとって最も重要なポイントの 1 つです.

Right-hand drive only describes the steering-wheel position. It does not prove that a vehicle is legally approved for a particular country.

Before importing a Chinese RHD EV, buyers should check:

• Vehicle type approval
• 地域の安全基準
• Emissions requirements where applicable
• 照明要件
• 充電規格
• Cybersecurity and software requirements
• ADAS regulations
• VIN and documentation
• ローカル登録要件
• Warranty and after-sales support

For European markets, WVTA or an applicable national/individual approval route may be relevant.

For GCC markets, buyers should check GCC conformity and individual country requirements.

For Australia, the relevant Australian vehicle approval and registration framework must be checked.

For Thailand, マレーシア, Indonesia and other Southeast Asian markets, local homologation requirements apply.

RHD EVs from China: What Should Buyers Check?

1. Confirm the Exact RHD Model

Do not simply search for a brand and assume that its China-market version is RHD.

Ask the exporter for:

• Exact model
• Model year
• RHD confirmation
• VIN
• Battery specification
• Charging standard
• Destination-market version

2. Check Certification

Ask whether the vehicle has:

• Local type approval
• WVTA where applicable

• Other destination-specific conformity documentation

3. Check Software Localization

China-spec vehicles may use different:

• Navigation systems
• App ecosystems
• OTA services
• 音声アシスタント
• Language options
• Connected-car services

This is especially important for intelligent EVs with advanced driver-assistance systems.

4. Confirm Warranty

A China-market RHD vehicle and an officially distributed RHD vehicle may have completely different warranty arrangements.

Ask:

Is the warranty manufacturer-backed in the destination country, or is it provided by the exporter/importer?

5. Confirm Shipping and Export Documentation

Before payment, 確認する:

• 商業送り状
• ドキュメントのエクスポート
• Certificate of origin where applicable
• Vehicle registration/title documents
• VIN
• Inspection documents
• Shipping terms
